I have grown stiff neck garlic for 5 years in Iowa. The cool thing about growing garlic is how hands off it is. And we use the plants from that year for the next year. We grow 96 heads of garlic. Each heads produces 5-6 cloves. So we set aside 18 plants to plant in the fall that will grow till next summer. We started this process from one bulb we bought in Galena IL. That year we grew 6, then 12, then 24, then 48, then 96 plants. It’s amazing how so much can come from so little. We find 70 or so bulbs gets us through the year and I thought I used a lot of garlic. I don’t know how you can use 578 plants! But I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Hi! I’m studying microbiology and I would not recommend this!!!! Garlic stored in olive oil is the perfect oxygen free environment for botulism growth, garlic stored in oil should never be left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours and if stored immediately in the fridge it should be tossed after 2-3 days although rare, botulism poisoning can be really really deadly and I don’t want anyone to get hurt!

We have been growing our own garlic since 2000. I bought 1 pound of garlic from a young man at the International Plowing Match (for $1.00) that year in Elora, Ontario, Canada. He taught me the fundamentals of growing and have been growing it ever since. We usually grow about 50 plants which is enough for us and family members. We use our own heads to plant the next year's crop in October which we cover with a very thick layer of straw to protect it during our long, cold winters here in midwestern Ontario,, Canada.

WOW, so much garlic!! I just ordered some to try as I have never done it before! For labeling I bought white plastic nursery markers I bought the taller ones I think 6 or 8 inches. I attach the markers higher so it is easier for me to see, if it is on the ground they are hard to find as everything gets taller and they get buried!! On the cattle panel arch I stick on on the post facing the variety and in ground I like using one of the metal straight electric fencing poles and I attach it at the top. This also makes it easier for me to make notes on my garden testing chart (I got the idea from The Seasonal Homestead). I put it into a spreadsheet for myself and hang it on a clipboard in the kitchen so I can mark how much the produce weighs (I am not great at this) but at least if I can mark that we got 10 squashes it helps to know how much we got, if we like the variety, if it did well for us and want to grow it again or not! The clipboard helped a lot as I can take it out to the garden if I want too! Next year, I want to add my garden plan on there too so I can plan things better but we will see I am trying to start a garden journal so I don't forget the varieties of fruit trees/bushes I already have planted.

For your hardneck garlic, they grow garlic scapes up the center of the stalk that I think produce cloves if you do not prune them off. I've read that pruning is recommended for your garlic to put it's energy into forming the bulbs. The garlic scapes are delicious so definitely don't throw them away if you prune them off next time!

I love peeling the cloves and purée them in food processor with some olive oil . It can keep in jar in the fridge for more than a month for sure when topped with extra olive oil. U can definitely freeze some of the jars this way or freeze the mixture in ice tray to have the cubes ready to use directly from the freezer to ur pan

Last year I grew 275 garlic bulbs and only had two left to pick! The gophers ate the rest! For 7 years they didn't touch one. Lost some great types of garlic. I haven't had to buy garlic in over 10 years and wow is the price higher then ever. This year garlic is in a raised bed with wire at the bottom. Not fond of that but at least I will get a harvest! Great job young lady! We live in Leavenworth, Wa. We call it critter town. We have moles, gophers, voles, raccoons, skunks which eat our fruit along with momma bear and twins! Never have I had such a challenge gardening! Great job with your garlic! You are doing a great job!

This is why I love watching opposite season channels, so funny to see you harvesting what I have just planted (2 weeks ago - albeit a bit later than I would like)! Unfortunately I had no budget to buy seed garlic this year, but I did have the left over cloves from last years (previous property) elephant garlic harvest to plant - can't wait for January when they will be ready to harvest (assuming they sprout!). Slow roasted elephant garlic is THE. BEST. THING. EVER!!

This year I have 290 cloves planted and 13 elephant garlics. Elephant garlic is not a true garlic and is more from the leek family.

To work out how much you need to grow, work out roughly how much you go through in a week then multiply that by 52. If you want to grow more for family and friends add another 20% - 30% Make sure you have good soil, plenty of manure,compost and good drainage.

Most of all her info on garlic is accurate. Elephant garlic is not really garlic but belongs to onion family. I grew garlic for years, around 1 acre at a time. It takes 9 months to grow it. So keep this in mind. I stuck with hardnecks as the taste was amazing. I sold it locally for $20/lb. It's a lot of work on harvest weekend. Family helpers made it doable. Love that plant!

The soil here is naturally extremely fertile and the season long and fairly perfect for agriculture so most people grow their own vegetables, roots, fruits and berries et cetera and this is our habit too, but I don't seem able to grow garlic and I love garlic! I need to learn a bit more. I planted garlic cloves in the autumn and in the summer they all are one, onion-shaped clove. I left them in the ground. We'll see how they develop (if they do).
